#Global Evangelion Fans Really Love Bicycle Cards, According to BEENOS Sales Ranking

The Evangelion Store is home to all kinds of Evangelion products — figures of characters and the titular Evangelions, smartphone accessories, books crammed with illustrations and production materials, apparel, and so on. Out of all these — or to be more accurate, out of items that fall under the EVA STORE Original banner — the hottest commodity among global fans of the franchise are the humble bicycle playing cards.

That’s according to findings from BEENOS Group, which operates the cross-border e-commerce service Buyee, and Evangelion Store operator Groundworks. With the Evangelion series celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the two teamed up to release a ranking of the top 10 EVA STORE Original products in terms of global sales, and the EVA STORE Original Bicycle Playing Cards are what topped the list.

The cards also seem to be popular in general — at the time of writing, the product occupies the third spot on the website’s overall ranking, behind the POP UP PARADE BEACH QUEENS figures of Asuka Langley and Rei Ayanami. You can see how they look like in the video below:

Following the cards is the gaudier EVA STORE Original Wristwatch Q&Q SmileSolar EVA STORE 20th Anniv. Type: EVA-01 with its purple strap and green highlights. Coming after that in third place is the EVA STORE Original NERV Mug.
